Deborah McMillion Nering

The artwork of

Deborah and Sashette

I was born in Portsmouth, Virginia and moved to Arizona when my father retired from the Navy. I received my degree at ASU in fine art. I ran Rural Arts Project, a fine arts serigraph printshop for non-profits in Pinal County. After I moved back to the valley I joined MARS Artspace, for a 15 year membership as an exhibiting artist that included five years as President and curator. I have received numerous awards and have exhibited in shows nationally including The Ohr-Okeefe Museum, In Time Art Salon, D.C., The Parthenon in Tennessee, University of Southern Mississippi, Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, and Shemer Museum.

My art and I have returned to the era that has always meant the most to me: The 1950s. An era of flying saucers, drive-ins, Doo-Wop, the Twilight Zone, scientific breakthroughs, and an optimism that anything can happen.
